Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has vowed to stay on as premier to complete the government’s term in March next year, says a source in the Defence Ministry.
Gen Prayut, who is also defence minister, made the remark at a remote meeting of armed forces leaders on Thursday.
“I’ll keep fighting and working until the government’s tenure ends,” the source quoted Gen Prayut as saying.
Another source confirmed the premier has no plan to call an early election by dissolving the House and thus escape the no-confidence debate which the opposition is preparing to launch against the government in May when parliament reconvenes.
